Meigetsu Shikku

Meigetsu Shikku (シック名月 in kanji) (Ashley Grant as a secondary name) is a bilingual fanloid developed by xxtasyx and based on the voices of Aoki Lapis and SONiKA.

Creation
Her first date of release was in June 2013 under the name of Shikku Kokushoku and was a MEW-based Fanloid. During this period Shikku was a recolor design fanloid, with tragic history, saturated color design and voice made in Audacity.

Then in June 2014, she was redesigned and her voice was then made in the Vocaloid program, it was still based on MEW. Months later, her creator decided to convert Shikku and her other Fanloids into UTAU's, the project lasted a few weeks, but then it was canceled and a half-voice voicebank was left. The reason for its cancellation was: Lack of time and disinterest in the UTAU world.

Shikku was abandoned for a long time, until June 13, 2016, when she presented herself with a new design, but she still didn't have an established voice, later, +Revolution imp was in charge of giving her a voice, based on VFlower for the version Japanese and Fukase for the English. Later he also began the production of his first album of covers L.O.V.E, but this album never came out to the public's availability. Innocent was later published, but in the middle of the album, its creative user had to leave the wiki for personal reasons for a while, leaving both Shikku and her other characters.

In June 2018 the character was resumed, with a new wardrobe and voices created from KANON and DAINA. A few months later her voice provider became Chika, mainly to acquire a configuration that sounded very similar to the voice of Megpoid, who could be considered his Vocaloid counterpart.

In 2019, she was redesigned a couple of times and again her voice changed. This stage is supposed to be her final phase. It is expected to launch a logo for the fanloid and a conceptual art that could be your BoxArt.

Etymology
Her name does not have an official translation, since "Meigetsu" is the wrong-written of Mangetsu, which means full moon. "Shikku" is just a word without meaning, but it could come from chic.

Design and appearance
Over the years she has had numerous designs, which most are hidden due to their low quality. It is known that the aesthetics of Shikku has been characterized by being based on the Nu-Goth and purple and black colors. Until in 2018, it is decided to put aside these themes to focus on something different, more "fantasy themed"

Shikku's appearance is inspired by a futuristic fairy with the purpose of being charming with a hidden essence of malignancy. Butterflies and botany are the thematic symbol of this design. The design is made up of a leotard that degrades from a violet color to a yellow, black high boots, white long gloves and an almost transparent pink tail skirt. Her hair begins in a black color and ends in a purple color, held by a tail of tall hair. She wears several items such as a pink headband, blue bracelets and a septum piercing.

Character
She is described as outgoing and passionate, but she proclaims herself a very self-confident and individualistic person. It usually shows a bold or sophisticated image depending on the situation and its priority will always be itself. It is considered a good companion, however it is impossible to maintain relationships with other people, therefore always ends up replacing friends or partners. He is also a person with evil intentions, mainly loves to deceive and incite others; It is immoral, and in favor of debauchery.

Her favorite animal is the butterfly because they represent freedom, and she has a certain fondness for flowers since they usually refer to beauty and feminine elegance.

Its concept is not very clear because the character of this fanloid focuses more on "backstory" than on some concept or background. However, it can be defined as "a femme fatale that uses music, dance, sex and fashion to spread benevolence towards self-destruction and nihilism (it will come, like it or not)" while it is finished writing its history.

Your connection with Vocaloid is something particular. It is not directly based or inspired by GUMI, but it is still its counterpart. It is assumed that Shikku would be the character he would represent or in other words, he would take the role of Megpoid in some synthesizer or fanloid grouping; for this reason his voice is the closest to the one already named and if Shikku is very influenced by this Vocaloid.
